Seaguard® Flake Filled Epoxy Coating
Glass-Flake Reinforced, Amine-Cured Coating with Excellent Impact and Abrasion Resistance
Seaguard® Flake Filled Epoxy Coating
Ship underwater hulls are impact-prone and require robust coating solutions. The marine environment in cold weather regions presents some of the most severe and damaging conditions on the planet. Ships navigating these frigid waters encounter challenges such as ice abrasion and impact, compounded by the relentless corrosive effects of seawater. Similarly, warm service environments pose their own set of challenges in various marine operations, including dredging and inland marine activities, where barges, tugs, and other vessels must withstand the abrasive forces of sand, silt, and rock.
SeaGuard Flake-Filled Epoxy is a glass-flake reinforced, amine-cured epoxy coating with excellent impact and abrasion resistance as demonstrated by its approval for ice-breaking vessels in polar regions. It is self-priming with a high build application for underwater hull, splash zones, working decks, dredging equipment or other areas subject to impact and abrasion. This coating is also suitable for early water exposure and cures under water.
Benefits of SeaGuard® Flake Filled Epoxy coating:
- High abrasion resistance
- Early water resistance
- 87% volume solids
- Low coefficient of friction (COF)
- Applicator friendly
- Tough and durable
- Resistant to seawater, mineral oils, aliphatic hydrocarbons and splashes from petrol and related products
